WORLDFOOD UKRAINE

Andrey Tviritin, Caspi Foods (Ukraine) 
Caspi Foods presented Turkish brands of non-alcoholic drinks, mineral water, natural coffee and processed foods. It was really satisfying to see that TM Uludag spring water and Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi coffee were awarded medals at the WorldFood Ukraine 2013 tasting contest. We did some very productive work at the Retail Distributors Centre, meeting national and regional retailers and distribution companies.

Aleksandr Kargin, Sales Director, New Foods LLC (Russia) 
The company presented the Syrtseyedy and Cheeser cheese snacks at the exhibition. Our body art show was definitely one of the most exciting presentations at the exhibition. The dish with “a little spice” that we offered our guests did not only serve to attract visitors and journalists to our stand. We were offered distribution in all regions of Ukraine, including Ivano-Frankivsk, Dnipropetrovsk and Kyiv. Everything about the organisation was  excellent.

Irina Sorokina, Director, BOBO Bar (Ukraine)
We are very happy with the results. The organisation was faultless. It was very pleasant to work with the organisers – all of our requirements were immediately met. Everyone found out about our new and extremely modern BOBO Bar brand and tried our Bubble Tea. Among the many visitors to our stand were both people from Kyiv and visitors from all regions of Ukraine. The visitors came from the Crimea, Odessa and Western Ukraine, including Khmelnitsky and Lutsk. We ran a successful programme of presentations at the Food Show Room, presenting cocktails to the guests in the tasting hall. There was a lot of interest in the activities of our company – the franchising of the BOBO Bar chain and the unsecured franchise credit.

Yuri Garmash, Marketing Specialist, Riton 2011 LLC (Ukraine)
Riton 2011 presented famous Italian brands of confectionery, tinned vegetables and sauces. The guests at our stand enjoyed tasting pesto sauces, salsa, tapenade and tinned artichokes. Visitors to the exhibition had the opportunity to taste the products and to speak to our Italian partners, who were also present at our stand.
We made very many interesting contacts at the exhibition. Our products attracted the interest of many distributors, representatives of retail chains and the hotel and restaurant business from all regions of Ukraine. 
Everything was fun, productive and delicious!

Nataliya Drozdova, Manager,Zhmenka (Ukraine)
Organic products are becoming more and more popular in Ukraine. Our company was one of the participants of the display organised by the ‘Organic Ukraine’ Union of Certified Organic Product Producers, together with other Ukrainian companies. For the three days of the exhibition there were tastings and presentations of new organic products from Ukrainian producers. 
As a result, our company had offers of cooperation from regional retailers from Western Ukraine, including Vinnitsya and Lutsk and our organic cereals attracted the attention of one of the national supermarket chains.

Darina Fedchuk, Ukrpole (Ukraine) 
Ukrpole presented natural conserved vegetables at the exhibition. We are a Ukrainian producer with a full cycle of production – canning factories process vegetables grown in the agricultural lands of the Poltava and Lviv regions.

Our stand was visited by representatives of retail and distribution companies from Cherkasy, Chernihiv region, Donetsk and Kharkiv. Our marinated cucumbers, tomatoes, squash spread, conserved corn and peas attracted the interest of representatives of the Eco-Market sales department.

The organizers of World Food 2011 had simplified this mission by gathering representatives of retail under one roof, combined this project with exhibition. There were really substantial auditory at the Exhibition, we have enough amount of business useful contacts. The only problem was - we had not enough time to communicate with all our visitors and potential clients."
